Pier-less

The hurricane was weeks ago,

Yet now I get to see

The damage, or what’s left of it,

That was described to me.


We walked the route we always take

When down here for a visit,

Past lovely homes with water views,

Expansive and exquisite.


The local park’s in ruins 

And some trees and plants have died,

But the lovely pier we strolled on

Shows destruction magnified.


Staring at its buckled surface,

Twisted into quite a mess,

Tells me when it will be walkable 

Is anybody‘a guess.
